Perennial Essence Make & Take Card

This Perennial Essence card was one of the Make & Take projects we got to make at Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage event in April. It’s made using almost everything in the Perennial Essence suite: Floral Essence stamp set, Perennial Flower Punch, Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper, Perennial Essence Vellum, and Perennial Essence Floral Centers. The bow is Mossy Meadow thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.
